Irrfan Khan’s son Babil shares childhood photo, says ‘Death is painful for the living, but you taught me it is only the beginning’

Babil wrote poignant lines about life and death as he shared a throwback photo with his father, actor Irrfan Khan. Babil also revealed that Irrfan introduced him to The Doors and they would sing along to the rock band’s songs.

Late actor Irrfan Khan had introduced his son Babil to the rock band The Doors at a time when the younger Khan used to listen to The Beatles. Babil shared a childhood image with Irrfan and wrote that the two of them would often sing The Doors’ songs together. Currently in London, Babil also wrote a few poignant lines about life and death.

Irrfan Khan looks content holding his son lovingly in this throwback image.

Irrfan could be seen holding Babil in his arms and hugging him tightly in the image. Babil wrote alongside the picture, “Death is painful for the living, for those dearest to your heart, but you taught me that death is only the beginning. So I’m here celebrating your life in my mind, divine bitter-sweetness. I was listening to ‘The Beatles’ then you got me obsessed with ‘The Doors’ and we used to sing along. I sing those songs still now, I feel you then..”

Irrfan died in April this year after a two-year battle with neuroendocrine tumour. In a statement on behalf of the family, his wife Sutapa Sikdar had said that the loss was not ‘personal’ as millions were grieving with her.
